Quatrains are four-line stanzas that form the backbone of most traditional poetry. They give structure without rigidity, rhythm without repetition. A quatrain can hold a complete thought, a memory, a revelation -- all in four perfectly measured lines.
Quatrains are found in nearly every poetic tradition worldwide -- from Chinese Tang Dynasty poetry to Persian ghazals to English ballads. The ABAB or ABCB rhyme scheme creates a sense of movement and resolution that has captivated readers for millennia.
